A new class of computer that's 'made for everyone'
Chromebooks are an interesting class of device, as they follow a "traditional" laptop form factor but run Google's Chrome OS, an adapted version of the Chrome browser with extra utilities to make it usable as a full operating system. The range of Chromebooks available today, save for a few ultra-high-end models from HP and Dell, blanket the low-...

While not for everyone, a Chromebook can be the best choice for a lot of things.
Whenever we talk about Chromebooks, this is one of the questions that always pops up.

We're moving along with our plans for Chrome. But first, let's talk about what Chrome is and how we're going to be doing it.
Here at Android Central, we like to talk about more than phones and tablets that use Android. Google news, carrier news and even huge mega-corporations we're familiar with buying other huge mega-corporations for obscene amounts of money are all things we find interesting...
